A judge has denied that Idaho College suspects that the motions of Bryan Kherberger to suppress important evidence collected during search lives, giving his defense team a serious but expected blow.
Kherberger’s Defense Team brought two DNA samples of non -created men in the King Road house, where he is accused of killing four students from the University of Idaho, as part of their attempt to have his arrest trips throw away.
Two non -created male blood samples, one on a handrail and one on a glove outside, were recovered by researchers after Madison’s stabbing death, 21; Kaylee Goncavles, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20. Neither of them corresponded to Kherberger, and they came from different topics.
With the sources of both in question, defender Anne Taylor told Ada County Judge Steven Hippler last month that this could mean that Kherberger, 30, is not at all related to the crime.
But in the provisional stage, the judge did not seem convinced that the presence of two other DNA samples would be a reason to throw away a likely reason for Kherberger’s arrest. Detectives made a damn find-a ka-bar Messchede under the body of Mag.
“His DNA is still on the Messchede,” Hippler told Taylor in court. “That’s the problem, counsel.”
Judge Hippler also denied Kherberger a hearing from Frank, so that his lawyers could challenge how the police conducted the investigation that resulted in the arrest of Kherberger in December 2022.
Kherberger studied for a Ph.D. In criminology and criminal law at Washington State University at the time of the murders. The University of Idaho is only 10 miles away from WSU.
Kherberger is accused of killing four students from the University of Idaho in their off-campus house in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022.
An investigation of almost two months led the police to finally grab Kherberger in his house in Pennsylvania.
Prior to the SWAT raid on the house, Kherberger and his father were stopped twice by Indiana Law Enforcement on a cross-country ride home to Pennsylvania from his apartment in Pullman, Washington, about 10 miles from the crime scene.
The Kherberger process is planned to start in August.
If convicted, Kherberger could face the death penalty.
